mark Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Mine is pitfall 2 and moon patrol. I never get sick of moon patrols music when playing. Whats yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolenta Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Not exactly my favorite but I find myself whistling the Frogger theme all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Thrust Platinum of course! Or any other great Paul Slocum music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Either Pitfall II or Pressure Cooker. I also love that opening tune in Bionic Breakthrough. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxglove9 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 #1 favorite is Sorcerers little sound loop. Frogger is a great little tune as well. I can't think of anything more annoying than Pitfall 2's soundtrack. I usually turn the sound down to play that, and that's the only Atari game I'll do that to.

ZylonBane Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Hands-down, any tune from BMX Airmaster. Paul Slocum's stuff is interesting, but IMHO sounds more like he's trying to beat the 2600 into submission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvgene Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Pitfall II.. I loved how after dying, you could grab some treasure and use the music to boost your spirits. What a great tune. Mountain King.. also another great musical game. The tune is great and I love how it is used in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcross Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Raiders of the Lost Ark. That intro music is classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 It has to be Thrust. Hey Thomas, I listened to the intro tune before I bought the game, and after I got it it sounds a little worse on the actual hardware. Why is that? It is still a good song nonetheless, and about 3 times as long as anything that came out of the 80's. I think Pitfall 2 gets so annoying, I usually end up putting it on mute, it is like the same 3 notes over and over and over and over and over again. Unless that is what you like.

bcprs1 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Pitfall II is definitely the best. I wish they could have done that in more games. I also like all the intro maze tunes in Jr Pac-Man especially the one before the 6th maze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 I just remembered Double dragon has pretty good intro music and also has game music. Probly because it is copyright 1989. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 for me its still 2600 mountain king, love the way it sounds, and how the music is part of the game, and the rush when it keeps getting faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Pitfall II has to take it. Nothing else on the 2600 (back then anyways) had such a complex and lovely set of music pieces. Beyond that, I liked the music intro on Crystal Castles, and the cut scene music for Frogger. Nowdays, I'd say that, actually the Test cart has some the best modern music. Kind of funny, I think it would have been great music on a space shooter of some kind actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Thomas, I listened to the intro tune before I bought the game, and after I got it it sounds a little worse on the actual hardware. Why is that? I have no idea, and since I don't have that cart myself I cannot confirm that. Maybe some hardware differences. Can you describe the differences?

(Although not by the band journey for which the game was based) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
